P is for Penguin

Penguins are cool animals, not just because they live at the north and south poles.

Interesting facts about penguins and me

* Penguins don't fly, they swim. (just like me )
* Penguins lay eggs. ( I cook eggs)
* They are warm blooded like humans. ( I know a few humans that i think might be cold blooded )
* When mothers lose a chick, they steal another mother’s chick. (Stop Thief ! )
* They are mostly found below the equator. ( I want to go to the equator, I like the heat )
* Penguin chicks have fluffy feathers. ( I had an friend Like that, no feather but he had fur )
* Penguins have short legs and no knees. ( maybe they don't have knees due to gambling debts )
* They have good arrangement of bones in hand. This makes them flexible. ( and apparently good at stealing )
* Their knees and upper legs are covered with feathers. ( again remind me of a friend from high school, Man was that Guy hairy)
* They are often black and white in color. ( Remind me of Micheal Jackson )

* When the salt storage completely fills the gland, penguins go to a rock and knock his beak. allowing him to empty the salt. ( like drunks in bars )
* Male penguins take care of their chicks. ( I try to take care of my chick, but when I call her that she bangs her beak on me , hmm )
* In cold places, males balance eggs on their feet and cover with belly flap to keep them warm. ( I knew penguins liked Soccer )
* They bite fiercely to defend themselves and their nests. ( Kind of like a cat I had when I was a kid )
* Penguins use sign language to communicate with each other. ( i thought I saw a penguin give the finger to a whale on discovery channel )
* They make use of their flippers and head to talk to other penguins. ( In england I saw a lady doing that to communicate with another driver )
* They feed on fish, cephalopods and krill. ( Again reminds me of when I was in England if Penguins only ate chips too)
* Penguins swallow their food as a whole. ( If I had to eat the same food every day, I might learn to do that too )
* Giant petrels and leopard seals are enemies of penguins. ( Pittsburgh Penguins rivals would be Philadelphia Flyers, I love hockey )
